Crazy robin 2,963 Posted December 12, 2012 Can't see you signing Crumpie on a 11 something average!!!! Surely would get a reduced average as been out of British speedway for a while & no longer a GP rider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A ORLOV 8,628 Posted December 12, 2012 Can't see you signing Crumpie on a 11 something average!!!! We have 16.32 available. It depends on the average of the other list of riders, Crump may be below 11. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottyfan 824 Posted December 12, 2012 Surely would get a reduced average as been out of British speedway for a while & no longer a GP rider. I'm sure if Matt wanted him back he would be reassessed at 4.20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A ORLOV 8,628 Posted December 13, 2012 Well that has stuffed my alternative hope if Hans and Troy not available. I wish him good luck in whatever he decides to do in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy robin 2,963 Posted December 13, 2012 Crumpy has announced his retirement today! Bloody hell that's a surprise but I think Leigh Adams injury & Lee Richardsons sad death affected Jason so i'd like to wish him well for the future. Hope one day we'll see another Adams, Richardson & Crump back in Swindon colours though. Well that has stuffed my alternative hope if Hans and Troy not available. I wish him good luck in whatever he decides to do in the future. Hans & Troy will be back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robinsgirl 59 Posted December 14, 2012 Well, welcome to Swindon Ed Kennett.. On reflection I think this is a good move for both Swindon and Ed, think the latter needed a change of scenery and what better team to go to than the EL Champions. Hopefully, Hans and Troy will be announced shortly, giving us 4 members of last years's Championship winning team. Ed should be able to increase his 6.25 average, certainly enough to allow Jason to deputise if necessary - that's potentially 5 of last year's all-conquering EL side. The excellent team morale should remain as a result. I would like to add that unlike an earlier poster, I was most impressed with Troy last year (once he got going) he was committed, team rode well and made a major contribution in ensuring that those down south finished as also-rans... Good post, and agree team morale is crucial to keeping momentum in 2013 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

orion 7,615 Posted December 14, 2012 Had a change of heart about the side ..reckon Stead should have been instead of troy letting Alden in at reserve rather than Birks ...Would have put a lot more pressure on Pk but would have still given us a solid top 5 with the best reserve pairing in the league ...still like the side same and it's nothing against Troy but reckon it might have been the way to go .

Alden is an enigma orion. I am not convinced by him. Yes he did well for us in 5 matches but a whole season as a full timer? Not for me. Gomolski will do the business for us mark my words. Birks will do ok too. As long as he wins the odd heat two, which i am sure he will, our reserves will be fine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
